We theoretically study a superradiant laser, deriving both the steady-state behaviors and small-amplitude responses of the laser's atomic inversion, atomic polarization, and light field amplitude. Our minimum model for a three-level laser includes atomic population accumulating outside of the lasing transition and dynamics of the atomic population distribution causing cavity frequency tuning, as can occur in realistic experimental systems. We show that the population dynamics can act as real-time feedback to stabilize or destabilize the laser's output power, and we derive the cavity frequency tuning for a Raman laser. We extend the minimal model to describe a cold-atom Raman laser using Rb-87, showing that the minimal model qualitatively captures the essential features of the more complex system [Bohnet et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 253602 (2012)]. This work informs our understanding of the stability of proposed millihertz linewidth lasers based on ultranarrow optical atomic transitions and will guide the design and development of these next-generation optical frequency references.
